Join Robeez and Twitter Moms in Giving Back This Holiday Season!

Christmas is the most wonderful season of the year!

It is a time that everyone opens their hearts and gives back for all of the wonderful blessings in their lives.

And this especially so in 2009, I have seen the kindness of people everywhere!

My own family has joined in this year with donations to food banks and toy drives, along with donating to programs for phone cards for soldiers.

Giving feels so good!

If you and your family have been one of the many blessed throughout this year, I hope you will find it in your heart to give back to those who have not.

Share how you are giving back by participating in the Twittermoms campaign called K.I.D.S. (Kids in Distressed Situations).

K.I.D.S give to children in need by providing new clothes, shoes, etc. donated by leading manufacturers and retailers.

Now would be a great time to help a child by buying a pair of shoes from Robeez. For every pair of Robeez Soft Sole purchases, Stride Rite will donate that pair to K.I.D.S (Kids In Distressed Situations) through December 23rd.

Please check out Robeez Season of Giving for more information.

Robeez is the only shoes my 11 month old daughter wears. Pediatrician approved, these soft soled shoes are easy to put on, require only very simple maintenance, and come a HUGE assortment of colors and patterns.

(Psst! That's my favorite pair you see there to the right! Aren't they just too adorable?!)

Here's to wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Love Is Child Passenger Safety

With the holiday season moving into full swing, families across the country are in the car and on the go. Whether you?re driving across the country to visit family or across town to holiday shop, it is important that your child passengers are riding safely and that child safety seats are used correctly.

AAA estimated that 30 million people travelled this Thanksgiving holiday alone, and for many this is just the beginning of the holiday hustle and bustle. Now is the time to utilize the Child Car Safety tools provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Ad Council to learn more about proper car seat use and installation. You will find informative resources that include instructional videos.

Have child passenger safety questions that you need answered before you travel over the river and through the woods to Grandma's? NHTSA is always available to answer your questions online through Facebook and Twitter.

Snow Day!

I know this snow is going to look pathetic to my northern friends, but to have a snow like this in December in Middle Tennessee is a rare thing here.

Bigger and Big Brother was out in it first thing this morning.

I'm a little concerned that Bigger Brother is intent on making what appears to be pretty good snow crop circles. :)

It's Okay to be Vain about Veins

Women work their legs hard. And, as a result, women are most prone to varicose veins.

Unlike twenty, or even ten, years ago, varicose veins can be fixed in a vein clinic rather than at a hospital.

Today's procedures are less invasive and include include ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy for spider veins and endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) for varicose veins.

If you suffer from venous conditions and need to find a reputable vein doctor, just visit Vein-Treament.com and use the free web-based locator to find a clinic near you.
